Feedback Please

[Racuda]

I've recently released a new version of my website and would like to get some opinions on it.

Visit: Racuda

Please take any short amount of time to give a little review, thanks. :D

 

[Jon_]

Oh, I saw this in the other forum. :D

And I still have the same opinion, great job on the design.

 

[Killmur]

Whoa I can not see anything. Please do not use a black font against a dark gray background. The layout itself is not too bad.

 

[bhyraj]

need change colour scheme. use white colour in font.

 

[Jon_]

Ah, yes, the text, sorry I forgot to include, I truly think that's the only thing stopping this layout from being supurb. :D

 

[StudioWorks]

Hey. Good looking site. I like the layout but the text is so hard to read. I can't even see the menu text.

 

[aguy]

yup

the site is fine but its very hard to read for me using ie with your fonts.
Sometimes i think people just post there site for review just because they want some hits.As they never reply to the feedback and dont take the good advice given.
Also i am a member of 2 other web design forums and you have posted the same review message in them lol and no reply from you either oh well im chatting shat coz im bored

Well, you're 100% wrong, i've no idea what you're on about.
1. I generally want feedback.
2. I've posted NOWHERE else (maybe yet)
3. You are chatting "shat".
4. I WOULD BE EXETREMELY HAPPY TO SEE THESE "POSTS" THAT I HAVE MADE ELSEWHERE.
5. I registered a while ago. Not like I just signed up for "hits".
6. I was previously registered here as another account anyway.
7. After all this is a forum dedicated for reviews!

And to those who care, thanks for the feedback. I've already spent a while making the text more visible, I only beleive that darker text is the answer. As honestly, using lighter text looked very silly.

Hey,
Racuda - Why make the text darker if people are having a hard time reading it ?

6. I was previously registered here as another account anyway.

Why dont you use your old account anymore ?

 

[Killmur]

Probably a suspended account. Also dark fonts and dark bg's do not make for a great site or a excuse at all.

 

[Zeeble]

can't see much at all...

 

[Rowan W]

Is this a joke?

and why is right-click disabled? I want to modify your CSS so I can read the text.

edit: you claim the fonts for download on your site are not yours even though they're written in your name and point to your website. So why don't you leave the original readme files in there so we can see who actually made them?

You say people must pay you to remove the copyright from your free templates, did you pay the font creators so you could remove their copyrights?

1) waaaayyy to dark!
2) why do you even bother to use flash? you only have buttons which are in flash , and they don't do anything special so i think you can keep it to a rollover.
and at the http://www.racuda.com/?id=tutorials , you're frames aren't centered

and here:
http://www.racuda.com/?id=photoshop_tut_2d_effect
http://www.racuda.com/?id=photoshop_tut_2d_effect_orb
the text is huge!

i think you have some nice tutorials there do

conclusion:
Just make the text lighter , maybe the whole layout ,
and on some pages the font size.

 

[Racuda]

Lol, where to start.

My previous account was not suspended, I just decided on a new username.

The "frames" aren't supposed to be centered, this was how i designed it, you'll be able to see that it's not just on the tutorials page and it's it's on many other pages too.

I noticed the huge text, i'm not sure how or why, i've tried many times to fix it although nothing. (Any suggestions) Most of the site uses css, except the font size.

(Thanks for tutorials comment)

I don't really want the task of lightening the layout as i've just spent months making it, and I really just wouldn't want to.

Ofcourse the fonts aren't mine, and I do not claim them to be - I don't understand what you mean about them being in my name and pointing to my site. They do not have "original" readme's because when I got hold of them most of them didn't have an original readme, and even if they did, they mentioned nothing about who they belonged to, and the fonts didn't have any copyrights...

I made the text darker because it made it alot easier to read... and making the text lighter didn't/does not work.

All in all, thanks for comments. Despite the ones that offended me.

 

[Zeeble]

It seems to me that you are not actually listening to what we are saying. I have to be about 2 inches from the screen, as well as squinting to see any of the layout at all because its so dark. Thats unprofessional. You don't have to listen to me, but I would suggest you do, as not one person will stay on the site for longer than a few secs if its that dark.

Hmm well it looks to me like you do just want hits because your font is utter poop the fact its so hard to read and also you should think %10 of people suffer with a form of colour blindess how would you expect them to read it??
Also i have seen your site advertised on 2 other forums with a differnt user name then racuba i wont post the links to these posts because i will be advertising another forum in here.

Are you serious ? I'm hurting my eyes trying to read the text on your site & your navigation!

You should put yourself in the visitors shoes : If I can't read the text .. i'm going to click on the X button.

this is how someone using ie will see your site http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=6/15409040544.gif&s=x4 , yet you dont think the colouring is poop. Hmm ima stop posting about this anyway but to be blunt POOP.

 

[MadAboutDomains]

Everything is a bit dark, Possibly Change the text colour lighter.

If you don't mind me asking, why have you chosen to make the design so thin?

Good luck
